The Fibonacci Sequence 1

The Fibonacci sequence is found all over in nature, from pinecones to sunflowers to seashells. The first few numbers are:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34...

Can you spot the pattern? Try looking at the difference between each number and the one after it.

Question 1: What number comes next? How about the one after that? You can use a calculator or pencil and paper if you want.
